A miracle is when the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. A miracle is when one plus one equals a thousand.”

― Frederick Buechner, The Alphabet of Grace

“The genuine realist, if he is an unbeliever, will always find strength and ability to disbelieve in the miraculous, and if he is confronted with a miracle as an irrefutable fact he would rather disbelieve his own senses than admit the miraculous also.”

― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.”

― C.S. Lewis

Psalm 90.13ff

Do return, O LORD; how long will it be? 

And be sorry for Your servants. 

O satisfy us in the morning with Your lovingkindness, 

That we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. 

Make us glad according to the days You have afflicted us, 

And the years we have seen evil. 

Let Your work appear to Your servants 

And Your majesty to their children. 

Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; 

And confirm for us the work of our hands; 

Yes, confirm the work of our hands. 

(Prayer)
